FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not specialized running shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart and measure your foot from heel to toe. For this model, UK 9.5 is specified. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
Can the BAPE camouflage pattern fade?
Like most printed patterns, excessive exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents can cause fading over time. Proper care and storage will help preserve the pattern's vibrancy.
What makes the midsole 'vintage'?
The 'vintage' aspect refers to the off-white, slightly aged color of the midsole, which provides a retro aesthetic that contrasts with the clean white upper and black details.
Is this product truly unisex?
While this specific listing is for a men's size, the Superstar silhouette and this particular colorway are generally considered unisex. Please check the specific sizing information available.
How durable is the rubber shell toe?
The signature rubber shell toe is designed for durability and protection, a hallmark of the Superstar line. It's made to withstand regular wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Scuffs on leather upper
For minor scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider a leather repair kit or professional cleaning.
Discoloration of midsole
Clean the vintage off-white midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can cause further yellowing or damage.
Water damage or stiffness
If the leather gets wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally. Apply a leather conditioner once dry to restore suppleness.
